title: Reconstruction of saddle nose deformities using porous polyethylene implant.
abstract: Various materials have been employed for nasal contour restoration. We used porous polyethylene implants in reconstruction of saddle nose deformity in 36 cases. Only one complication occurred in the 8-18 months follow-up period. No implant was removed. Both cosmetic and functional results were accepted as pleasing by the patients.
